Question 7 of 11beginner💡 UnderstandShort Answer2 marks
If we change the distance of the source of light from the stick (an object), how will the shadow change?
Correct Answer
If the object is close to the source of light, the shadow becomes bigger. If the object is moved farther from the source of light, the shadow becomes smaller. The size of the shadow changes with the distance between the light source and the object.

Explanation
The chapter clearly states on page 5: 'If the object is close to the source of light, the shadow is bigger.' This principle is demonstrated through the torch and stick activity where students observe changes in shadow size by moving the stick back and forth.
